====================================
Enacted in 1998, the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), is the primary
authorization for this appropriation account. The act is intended to
revitalize the Nation's job training system to provide workers with the
information, advice, job search assistance, and training they need to
get and keep good jobs, and to provide employers with skilled workers.
Funds appropriated for this account generally are available on a July to
June program year basis, but for 2000 through 2003 substantial advance
appropriation amounts were provided.
Adult employment and training activities.--Grants to provide
financial assistance to States and territories to design and operate
training and employment assistance programs for adults, including low-
income individuals and public assistance recipients.
Dislocated worker employment and training activities.--Grants to
provide reemployment services and retraining assistance to individuals
dislocated from their employment.
Youth activities.--Grants to support a wide range of activities and
services to prepare low-income youth for academic and employment
success, including summer jobs. The program links academic and
occupational learning with youth development activities.
Job corps.--A system of primarily residential centers offering basic
education, training, work experience, and other support, typically to
economically disadvantaged youth.
Native Americans.--Grants to Indian tribes and other Native American
groups to provide training, work experience, and other employment-
related services to Native Americans.
National programs.--Provides program support for WIA activities and
nationally administered programs for segments of the population that
have special disadvantages in the labor market.
Expired programs.--Includes programs previously funded in this
account for which no budget authority is requested for 2003.

Legislation will be proposed for 2004 to reauthorize the Workforce
Investment Act (WIA). The reauthorization pro
[[Page 649]]
posal will increase State flexibility and target resources more
effectively. For adults, the proposal will consolidate the Adult,
Dislocated Worker and Employment Service State Grants into a single
block grant to facilitate coordination and eliminate duplication in the
provision of services to adults. For youth, the proposal will minimize
overlap between the Departments of Labor (DOL) and Education by
targeting all of DOL's formula resources to out-of-school youth programs
and national grant resources to non-school and out-of-school youth
programs that have proven effective.

Legislation will be proposed to authorize grants to States for Re-
employment Accounts for unemployed workers. These accounts would provide
certain unemployed workers up to $3,000 per person to purchase job
training, child care, transportation, or moving services, or to finance
other expenses of finding a job. As an additional incentive to find
work, an individual who gets a job within thirteen weeks of establishing
the account would receive any funds remaining in the account as a re-
employment bonus.

The Trade Adjustment Assistance Reform Act of 2002 (Division A of
Public Law 107-210) was signed into law on August 6, 2002. This Act
amended the Trade Act of 1974 to consolidate the previous Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance
(NAFTA-TAA) programs into a single, enhanced TAA program with expanded
eligibility, services, and benefits. Additionally, the act provides for
a program of Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance for Older Workers.
The amendments generally apply only to those workers covered by a
petition for certification filed on or after November 4, 2002. Sections
123(c) and 151(b) and (c) of the Trade Adjustment Assistance Reform Act
provide that workers certified under a petition filed before November 4
will continue to be eligible for services and benefits in accordance
with the requirements that were applicable to the previous TAA and
NAFTA-TAA programs, until such time as their eligibility under those

====================================
Unemployment compensation.--State administration amounts provide
administrative grants to State agencies which pay unemployment
compensation to eligible workers and collect State unemployment taxes
from employers. These agencies also pay unemployment benefits to former
Federal personnel as well as trade adjustment assistance to eligible
individuals. State administration amounts also provide administrative
grants to State agencies to improve the integrity and financial
stability of the unemployment compensation program through a
comprehensive program, UI Performs. The purpose is to effect continuous
improvement in State performance and related activities designed to
assess and reduce errors and prevent fraud, waste, and abuse in the
payment of unemployment compensation benefits and the collection of
unemployment taxes. National activities relating to the Federal-State
unemployment insurance programs are conducted through contracts or
agreements with the State agencies or with non-state entities. A
workload reserve is included in State administration to meet increases
in the costs of administration resulting from changes in State law, or
increases in the number of claims filed and claims paid. The
appropriation automatically provides additional funds whenever
unemployment increases above budgeted levels.

4Employment service.--The public employment service is a nationwide
system providing no-fee employment services to individuals who are
seeking employment and employers who are seeking workers. State
employment service activities are financed by allotments to States
distributed under a demographically based funding formula established
under the Wagner-Peyser Act, as amended. Employment service allotments
are funded on a program year basis running from July 1 through June 30
of the following year. The reemployment needs of unemployed workers who
lose their jobs through no fault of their own and who need extra job
finding help are financed by Reemployment Services grants. These funds
are distributed to States on a program year basis running from July 1
through June 30 the following year.
Employment service activities serving national needs, which includes
certification of aliens for employment-based visas, are conducted
through specific reimbursable agreements between the States and the
Federal Government under the Wagner-Peyser Act, as amended and other
legislation. Funding is also provided for amortization payments for
States which had independent retirement plans prior to 1980 in their
State employment service agencies.
One-stop career centers.--These funds will be used to support the
joint Federal-State efforts to improve the comprehensive One-Stop system
created under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). This system provides
workers and employers with quick and easy access to a wide array of
enhanced career development and labor market information services. In
this activity, funds will be used to implement the emerging e-government
strategy for the WIA workforce system, which will improve accessibility,
update the one-stop technology infrastructure, and improve the
efficiency of the labor exchange and other services.
Work incentive grants.--These funds provide competitive grants to
improve access to and coordination of information, benefits, and
services to enable individuals with disabilities to return to work.

This account was initiated as a result of the amendments to the
Emergency Unemployment Compensation law (P.L. 102-164, as amended) which
currently provides for general fund financing for administrative costs
related to extended benefits under the optional, total unemployment rate
trigger. This account is also used to make reimbursements for a portion
of benefits paid under the Temporary Extended Unemployment Compensation
Act of 2002 (P.L. 107-147). These funds are transferred to a receipt
account in the Unemployment Trust Fund (UTF) so that resources may be
transferred to the Employment Security Administration Account in the UTF
for administrative costs or to the Extended Unemployment Compensation
Account for benefit costs.
Advances to the Unemployment Trust Fund and Other Funds
For repayable advances to the Unemployment Trust Fund as authorized
by sections 905(d) and 1203 of the Social Security Act, as amended, and
to the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund as authorized by section
9501(c)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended; and for
nonrepayable advances to the Unemployment Trust Fund as authorized by
section 8509 of title 5, United States Code, and to the ``Federal
unemployment benefits and allowances'' account, to remain available
until September 30, 2005, $467,000,000.
In addition, for making repayable advances to the Black Lung
Disability Trust Fund in the current fiscal year after September 15,
2004, for costs incurred by the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund in the
current fiscal year, such sums as may be necessary.
Note.--A regular 2003 appropriation for this account had not been

This account provides repayable advances to the Black Lung
Disability Trust Fund for making payments from that fund whenever its
balances prove insufficient. The funding requested in this appropriation
for 2004 is entirely for Black Lung. This spending authority is
presented as authority to borrow in the Black Lung Disability Trust
Fund.
This account may also provide advances to several other accounts to
pay unemployment compensation to eligible individuals under various
Federal and State unemployment compensation laws whenever the balances
in the funds prove insufficient or whenever reimbursements to certain
accounts, as allowed by law, are to be made. Advances made to the
Federal employees compensation account in the Unemployment Trust Fund
and to the Federal unemployment benefits and allowances account are
nonrepayable. All other advances made to the Federal unemployment
account and to the Extended unemployment compensation account (both in
the Unemployment Trust Fund) are repaid, with interest, to the general
fund of the Treasury.

The Black Lung Disability Trust Fund (BLDTF) revenues, which consist
primarily of excise taxes on coal, are not sufficient to repay its $9
billion debt to the Treasury or to service the interest on that debt.
See discussion in the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund for a full
description of the Administration's proposal to remedy this problem. As
a part of this proposal, the Administration will propose legislation
that will provide for a one-time appropriation to permit the BLDTF to
compensate the General Fund for lost interest income.

====================================
The financial transactions of the Federal-State and railroad
unemployment insurance systems are made through the Unemployment Trust
Fund. All State and Federal unemployment tax receipts are deposited in
the trust fund and invested in Government securities until needed for
benefit payments or administrative costs. States may receive repayable
advances from the fund when their balances in the fund are insufficient
to pay benefits. The fund may receive repayable advances from the
general fund when it has insufficient balances to make advances to
States or to pay the Federal share of extended benefits.
State payroll taxes pay for all regular State benefits. During
periods of high State unemployment, extended benefits, financed one-half
by State payroll taxes and one-half by the Federal unemployment payroll
tax, are also paid. The Federal tax pays the costs of Federal and State
administration of unemployment insurance and veterans employment
services and 97% of the costs of the employment service. The Federal tax
also pays for benefits under the Temporary Extended Unemployment
Compensation program.
The Federal employees compensation account provides funds to States
for unemployment compensation benefits paid to eligible former Federal
civilian personnel, Postal Service employees, and ex-servicemembers.
Benefits paid are reimbursed to the Federal employees compensation
account by the various Federal agencies. Any additional resources
necessary to assure that the account can make the required payments to
States will be provided from the Advances to the Unemployment Trust Fund
and other funds account.
Both the benefit payments and administrative expenses of the
separate unemployment insurance program for railroad employees are paid
from the Unemployment Trust Fund and receipts from the tax on railroad
payrolls are deposited in the fund to meet expenses.

Legislation will be proposed for 2004 to amend the Wagner-Peyser Act
and the Workforce Investment Act to consolidate the Employment Service
State Grants with the Adult and Dislocated Worker programs into a single
block grant to increase state flexibility, facilitate coordination, and
eliminate duplication in the provision of employment services to adults.
In addition to the legislative proposal to consolidate the
Employment Service and Workforce Investment Act Adult and Dislocated
Worker grant programs, legislation will also be proposed to reform
unemployment insurance (UI) administration. The proposal is designed to
make the UI system more responsive to the needs of workers and employers
by giving states flexibility and control. It would reduce current
Federal payroll taxes on employers by 25 percent in 2005 and 75 percent
in 2009. These changes would not affect workers' UI benefits, which are
paid by State, not Federal funds.

This wholly owned government corporation administers mandatory
insurance programs to prevent loss of pension benefits under covered
private, defined-benefit pension plans if single-employer plans
terminate or if multiemployer plans are unable to pay benefits.
The 2004 Budget proposes the elimination of a discretionary limit on
administrative expenditures for the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
(PBGC). In 2004 and beyond, the Budget will provide permanent authority
to finance the PGBC's administrative expenditures through revised
appropriations language. This proposal will increase the PBGC's ability
to manage effectively its fluctuating workload of plan terminations,
while ensuring accountability. The request also includes new budget
activities to strengthen the link between resources, workload, and
results.
Single employer benefit payment.--The single-employer program
protects about 34 million participants in about 35,000 pension plans.
Under this program, a company may voluntarily seek to terminate its
plan, or PBGC may seek termination under certain circumstances. The PBGC
must seek termination when a plan cannot pay current benefits.
In a ``standard'' termination, plan assets must be sufficient to pay
all benefits before the plan is allowed to end. That payment is in the
form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company or a lump sum
payment. After the payment is made, the PBGC guarantee ends. A plan that
cannot pay all benefits may be ended by a ``distress'' termination, but
only if the employer meets tests proving severe financial distress, for
example, the likelihood that continuing the plan would force the company
to shut down. If the terminated plan cannot pay at least the PBGC-
guaranteed benefits, the PBGC uses its funds to ensure guaranteed
benefits are paid.

Retirees receiving monthly benefits. 403,000 500,000 525,000
Multi-employer financial assistance.--The multiemployer insurance
program protects about 8.8 million participants in about 1,700 plans.
Multiemployer pension plans are maintained under collectively bargained
agreements involving unrelated employers, generally in the same
industry. If a PBGC-insured multiemployer plan is unable to pay
guaranteed benefits when due, the PBGC will provide the plan with
financial assistance to continue paying guaranteed benefits, ordinarily
in the form of a loan to the plan. Thirty plans are expected to receive
assistance in 2004.
Pension insurance activities.--Includes pension plan premium
collections, premium investments, technical assistance, and new pension
plan promotion activities.
Pension plan termination.--Includes all activities related to plan
termination and trusteeship; plan asset management, investment and
accounting; and benefit administration services.
Operational support.--Includes the administrative, information
technology infrastructure, and other shared program support for both
PBGC's insurance and plan termination activities.

Financing.--The primary source of financing is annual premiums paid
by sponsors of ongoing covered plans, which vary according to the plans'
funding level. Other sources of financing include assets from terminated
plans, investment income, and amounts due PBGC from the sponsors of
terminating plans. Also, PBGC is authorized to borrow up to $100 million
from the U.S. Treasury.

Enforcement of wage and hour standards.--The Wage and Hour Division
works to obtain and encourage compliance with the minimum wage,
overtime, child labor, and other employment standards under the Fair
Labor Standards Act, the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker
Protection Act (MSPA), the Family and Medical Leave Act, certain
provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act, the wage garnishment
provisions in Title III of the Consumer Credit Protection Act, and the
Employee Polygraph Protection Act. Prevailing wages are determined and
employment standards enforced under various Government contract wage
standards. In 2004, approximately 241,500 persons are expected to be
aided under the Fair Labor Standards Act through securing agreements
with firms to pay back wages owed to their workers. In government
contract compliance actions, about 23,500 persons will be aided through
securing agreements to pay wages owed to workers. Under MSPA,
approximately 2,000 investigations and 900 housing inspections will be
completed. In the course of all on-site investigations, investigators
will routinely check for employer compliance with child labor standards
and, in all ``directed'' (non-complaint) investigations, for compliance
with the employment eligibility verification recordkeeping requirements
of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The Budget maintains resources
for the Wage and Hour Division which are assigned to areas where
employment of illegal immigrants is most prevalent. The targeting of
labor standards enforcement efforts in those industries and geographic
areas where unauthorized workers are most prevalent will help to reduce
the economic incentive for such illegal employment practices and will,
in turn, help reduce illegal immigration.
Federal contractor Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) standards
enforcement.--The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP)
enforces equal employment opportunity and nondiscrimination requirements
of Federal contractors and subcontractors. In particular, OFCCP
enforces: Executive Order 11246, which prohibits employment
discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, color, and national
origin; Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans
with Disabilities Act of 1990 (through a memorandum of understanding
with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission), which prohibit
employment discrimination against individuals with disabilities; and the
Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended,
which prohibits employment discrimination against certain protected
veterans. OFCCP programs cover close to 200,000 work-sites with a total
workforce of 26 million persons.
OFCCP monitors contractors' compliance through various levels of
reviews and reporting requirements. In 2004, approximately 2,060,000
individuals will be aided through 6,250 compliance reviews, 279
complaint investigations, and 2,934 other compliance actions.
OFCCP also encourages and supports voluntary compliance by providing
compliance assistance to covered contractors. OFCCP has implemented a
compliance assistance program available to all Federal contractors and
subcontractors. For example, as part of its compliance assistance
program, OFCCP provides technical assistance in understanding regulatory
requirements to contractors through Industrial Liaison Groups. In
addition, OFCCP has placed important compliance assistance information
on the Internet. OFCCP also ensures that Federal contractors and
subcontractors are provided linkages to recruitment sources for hiring
and advancement of minorities, women, protected veterans and individuals
with disabilities. OFCCP honors Federal contractors and linkage
organizations through the Secretary of Labor Opportunity Awards and the
EVE/EPIC program for their outstanding compliance initiatives.
Federal programs for workers' compensation.--Under this activity,
the Employment Standards Administration administers the Federal
Employees' Compensation Act, the Longshore and Harbor Workers'
Compensation Act, the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation
Program Act, and the benefit provisions of the Federal Mine Safety and
Health Act of 1977. These programs ensure that eligible disabled and
injured workers or their survivors receive compensation and medical
benefits and a range of services including rehabilitation, supervision
of medical care, and technical and advisory counseling to which they are
entitled. OWCP also monitors State workers' compensation laws.
The Administration has included in the 2004 Budget, an amendment to
the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) that would allow the
Department of Labor to add an administrative surcharge to the amount
billed to Federal agencies for their FECA compensation costs, thereby
shifting FECA administrative costs to agencies in proportion to their
program usage. This proposal is discussed in further detail in the
Special Benefits account narrative.
Program direction and support.--This activity directs the various
units that support the Employment Standards Administration's operating
programs and helps ensure effective management of these programs through
planning, personnel management, financial management, and Federal/State
liaison programs. Major goals in 2004 will include continued efforts to
eliminate internal fraud, waste, and mismanagement; improvement of
management information, automated data processing, and program and
fiscal accountability; and legislative and regulatory improvements.
Labor-management standards.--The Office of Labor-Management
Standards (OLMS) receives and discloses statutorily
[[Page 661]]
required reports required of unions and others, including union
financial reports; audits union financial records and investigates
possible embezzlements of union funds; conducts union officer election
investigations; supervises reruns of union officer elections pursuant to
voluntary settlements or after court determinations that elections were
not conducted in accordance with the Labor-Management Reporting and
Disclosure Act; and administers the statutory program to certify
employee protection provisions under various federally-sponsored
transportation programs. In 2004, OLMS plans enhanced efforts to advance
union financial integrity protections, primarily through increased union
audits and compliance assistance efforts. OLMS expects to process 36,000
reports and conduct a total of 4,582 investigations, audits, and
supervised elections.

====================================
Federal Employees' Compensation Act benefits.--The Federal
Employees' Compensation Act program provides monetary and medical
benefits to Federal workers who sustain work-related injury or disease.
Not all benefits are paid by the program, since the first 45 days of
disability are usually covered by keeping injured workers in pay status
with their employing agencies (the continuation-of-pay period). In 2004,
155,000 injured federal workers or their survivors will file claims;
55,500 will receive long-term wage replacement benefits for job-related
injuries, diseases, or deaths. Most of the costs of this account are
charged back to the beneficiaries' employing agencies.
The Administration has included in the 2004 Budget an amendment to
the Federal Employees' Compensation Act that would allow the Department
of Labor to add an administrative surcharge to the amount billed to
Federal agencies for their FECA compensation costs, thereby shifting
FECA administrative costs from the Department to federal agencies in
proportion to their program usage. The 2004 level for each affected
agency includes funding for the estimated 2004 surcharge. In subsequent
years, agencies dependent upon an annual appropriation would include in
their annual budget estimates the total amount of the Chargeback bills,
which would include the surcharge amounts. The Chargeback bills are sent
by ESA to Federal agencies in mid-August of each year covering each
agency's workers' compensation costs from July 1 of the previous year
through June 30 of the current year. The legislation would produce
estimated government-wide benefit savings of more than $80 million over
ten years.

Longshore and harbor workers' compensation benefits.--Under the
Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, as amended, the Federal
Government pays from direct appropriations one-half of the increased
benefits provided by the amendments for persons on the rolls prior to
1972. The remainder is provided from the special fund which is financed
by private employers assessed at the beginning of each calendar year for
their proportionate share of these payments.

The Administration will propose legislation to strengthen program
integrity and make the Act more equitable and easier to administer by:
1) converting compensation for new injuries or new claims for disability
to a lower retirement-level benefit at age 65; 2) moving the 3-day
waiting period, during which an injured worker is not entitled to
compensation, to the point immediately after an injury; 3) changing the
way schedule awards are paid to allow uniform lump-sum payments to
federal employees eligible for such awards; 4) replacing augmented
compensation for dependents with a slightly higher basic benefit level
for all claimants; 5) allowing OWCP to recover the costs of continuation
of pay (COP), a large annual expenditure for federal agencies, from
responsible third parties; and 6) updating benefit levels for funeral
expenses and disfigurement resulting from work injury.

for benefits under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness
Compensation Program Act of 2000. In July 2001, the Program began
accepting claims from employees or survivors of employees of the
Department of Energy (DOE) and of private companies under contract with
DOE who suffer from a radiation-related cancer, beryllium-related
disease, or chronic silicosis as a result of their work in producing or
testing nuclear weapons. The Act authorizes a lump-sum payment of
$150,000 and reimbursement of medical expenses.

the Solicitor provides legal support and represents the Department in
claimant appeals of OWCP decisions. HHS is responsible for developing
individual dose reconstructions to estimate occupational radiation
exposure, and developing regulations to guide DOL's determination of
whether an individual's cancer was caused by radiation exposure at a DOE
or atomic weapons facility. DOE is responsible for providing exposure
histories at employment facilities covered under the Act, as well as
other employment information. DOJ assists claimants who have been
awarded compensation under the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act
(RECA) to file for additional compensation, including medical benefits,
under EEOICPA.

This fund was established to provide for the accumulation of funds
to meet the Panama Canal Commission's obligations to defray costs of
workers' compensation which will accrue pursuant to the Federal
Employees' Compensation Act (FECA). On December 31, 1999, the Commission
was dissolved as set forth in the Panama Canal Treaty of 1977, and the
liability of the Commission for payments beyond that date did not end
with its termination. The establishment of this fund, into which funds
were deposited on a regular basis by the Commission, was in conjunction
with the transfer of the administration of the FECA program from the
Commission to the Department of Labor effective January 1, 1989.
Trust Funds

amended; and interest on advances, as authorized by section 9501(c)(2)
of that Act. In addition, the following amounts shall be available from
the Fund for fiscal year 2004 for expenses of operation and
administration of the Black Lung Benefits program, as authorized by
section 9501(d)(5): $32,004,000 for transfer to the Employment Standards
Administration, ``Salaries and Expenses''; $23,401,000 for transfer to

====================================
The trust fund consists of all moneys collected from the coal mine
industry under the provisions of the Black Lung
[[Page 666]]
Benefits Revenue Act of 1981, as amended by the Consolidated Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, in the form of an excise tax on mined
coal. These moneys are expended to pay compensation, medical, and
survivor benefits to eligible miners and their survivors, where mine
employment terminated prior to 1970 or where no mine operator can be
assigned liability. In addition, the fund pays all administrative costs
incurred in the operation of part C of the Black Lung program. The fund
is administered jointly by the Secretaries of Labor, the Treasury, and
Health and Human Services. The Benefits Revenue Act provides for
repayable advances to the fund in the event fund resources will not be
adequate to meet program obligations. Such advances are to be repaid
with interest. The outstanding debt at the end of each year was: 1981,
$1,510 million; 1982, $1,793 million; 1983, $2,151 million; 1984, $2,497
million; 1985, $2,833 million; 1986, $2,884 million; 1987, $2,952
million; 1988, $2,993 million; 1989, $3,049 million; 1990, $3,049
million; 1991, $3,266 million; 1992, $3,606 million; 1993, $3,949
million; 1994, $4,363 million; 1995, $4,738 million; 1996, $5,112
million; 1997, $5,487 million; 1998, $5,857 million; 1999, $6,259
million; and 2000, $6,749 million; 2001, $7,254 million; and 2002,
$7,719 million. It is estimated to be $8,160 million in 2003 and $8,627
million in 2004 if the refinancing proposal is not enacted.

The Black Lung Disability Trust Fund (BLDTF) revenues, which consist
primarily of excise taxes on coal, are not sufficient to repay the over
$8 billion debt it owes to the Treasury or to service the interest on
that debt. Under current conditions, this indebtedness will continue to
grow, with the BLDTF never becoming solvent, even when benefit outlays
have declined to a level approaching zero. To solve this problem, the
Administration will propose legislation that will: (1) authorize a
refinancing (debt restructuring) of the outstanding BLDTF debt, (2)
extend at current rates BLDTF excise tax levels (set to expire in
January 2014) until solvency is attained, and (3) provide for a one-time
appropriation to compensate the General Fund for the lost interest
income.

The trust funds consist of amounts received from employers for the
death of an employee where no person is entitled to compensation for
such death, for fines and penalty payments, and pursuant to an annual
assessment of the industry, for the general expenses of the fund under
the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, as amended.
These trust funds are available for payments of additional
compensation for second injuries. When a second injury is combined with
a previous disability and results in increased permanent partial
disability, permanent total disability, or death, the employer's
liability for benefits is limited to a specified period of compensation
payments after which the fund provides continuing compensation benefits.
In addition, the fund pays one-half of the increased benefits provided
under the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, as amended,
for persons on the rolls prior to 1972. Maintenance payments are made to
disabled employees undergoing vocational rehabilitation to enable them
to return to remunerative occupations, and the costs of necessary
rehabilitation services not otherwise available to disabled workers are
defrayed. Payments are made in cases where other circumstances preclude
payment by an employer and to provide medical, surgical, and other
treatment in disability cases where there has been a default by the
insolvency of an uninsured employer.

Safety and health standards.--This activity provides for the
development, promulgation, review and evaluation of feasible
occupational safety and health standards and guidance. Before any
standard is proposed or promulgated, a determination is made that: (1) a
significant risk of serious injury or health impairment exists; (2) the
standard will reduce this risk; (3) the standard is economically and
technologically feasible; and (4) the standard is economically and
technologically feasible when compared with alternative regulatory
proposals providing equal levels of protection. Regulatory reform
efforts include consensus-based rulemaking, development of common sense
regulations, rewriting existing standards so they are understandable to
those affected by them, and regulatory and non-regulatory process
improvements.
Enforcement.--This activity provides for the enforcement of
workplace standards promulgated under the Occupational Safety and Health
(OSHA) Act of 1970 through the physical inspection of worksites, and by
fostering the voluntary cooperation of employers and employees. Programs
are targeted to the investigation of claims of imminent danger and
employee complaints, investigation of fatal and catastrophic accidents,
programmed inspections of firms with injury-illness rates that are above
the national average, and special emphasis inspections for serious
safety and health hazards. OSHA's enforcement strategy includes a
selective targeting of inspections and related compliance activities to
specific high hazard industries and worksites.
State programs.--This activity assists states in assuming
responsibility for administering occupational safety and health programs
under State plans approved by the Secretary. Under section 23 of the
OSHA Act, matching grants of up to fifty percent of total program costs
are made to States that meet the Act's criteria for establishing and
implementing State programs which are at least as effective as the
Federal program. State programs, like their Federal counterpart, provide
a mix of enforcement, outreach, training and compliance assistance
activities.
Technical support.--This activity provides specialized technical
expertise and advice in support of a wide range of program areas,
including construction, standards setting, variance determinations,
compliance assistance, and enforcement. Areas of expertise include
laboratory accreditation, industrial hygiene, occupational health
nursing, occupational medicine, chemical analysis, equipment
calibration, and safety engineering.
Compliance assistance--Federal.--This activity supports a range of
cooperative programs, training, and outreach that provide compliance
assistance in improving workplace safety and health, with particular
emphasis on small business. OSHA works with employers and employees
through Voluntary Protection Programs recognizing and promoting
effective safety and health management; partnerships focusing on the
development of extended cooperative relationships; and alliances
committing organizations to collaborative efforts with OSHA. Federal
agencies are assisted in implementing and improving their job safety and
health programs. Occupational safety and health training is provided at
the OSHA Training Institute and associated Education Centers throughout
the country. Compliance and technical assistance materials are prepared
and disseminated to the public through various means, including the
Internet.
State consultation grants.--This activity supports 90 percent
Federally-funded cooperative agreements with designated State agencies
to provide free on-site consultation to employers upon request. State
agencies tailor workplans to specific needs in each State while
maximizing their impact on injury and illness rates in smaller
establishments. These projects offer a variety of services, including
safety and health program assessment and assistance, hazard
identification and control, and training of employers and their
employees.
Training grants.--This activity supports safety and health training
grants to organizations that provide training and education and develop
educational materials for employers and employees. Grants address safety
and health education needs related to specific topics and industries
identified by the agency.
Safety and health statistics.--This activity supports the
information technology infrastructure, management information, and
statistical basis for OSHA's programs and field operations. These are
provided through an integrated data net
[[Page 669]]
work, and statistical analysis and review. OSHA administers and
maintains the recordkeeping system that serves as the foundation for the
BLS survey on occupational injuries and illnesses and provides guidance
on recordkeeping requirements to both the public and private sectors.
Executive direction and administration.--This activity supports
executive direction, planning and evaluation, management support,
legislative liaison, interagency affairs, administrative services, and
budgeting and financial control.

Note: The Program Evaluation and Information Resources (PEIR)
activity, added in the FY 2004 Budget, consists of funds formerly spread
among other MSHA activities. Comparative funding for PEIR is as follows:
in fiscal year 2002, $14 million; and in fiscal year 2003, $17 million.
Enforcement.--The Enforcement strategy in 2004 will be an integrated
approach that links all actions to preventing occupational injuries and
illness. These include inspection of mines as mandated by the Federal
Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, special emphasis initiatives that
focus on persistent safety and health hazards, promulgation of safety
and health standards, investigation of serious accidents, and on-site
education and training. The desired outcome of these enforcement efforts
is to lower fatality and injury rates.
Assessments.--This activity assesses and collects civil monetary
penalties for violations of safety and health standards.
Educational policy and development.--This activity develops and
coordinates MSHA's mine safety and health education and training
policies, and provides classroom instruction at the National Academy for
MSHA personnel, other governmental personnel, and the mining industry.
States provide mine health and safety training materials, and provide
technical assistance through the State Grants program.
Technical support.--This activity applies engineering and scientific
expertise through field and laboratory forensic investigations to
resolve technical problems associated with imple- mentation of the Mine
Act. Technical support administers a fee program to approve equipment,
materials, and explosives for use in mines and performs field and
laboratory audits of equipment previously approved by MSHA. It also
collects and analyzes data relative to the cause, frequency, and
circumstances of accidents.
Program evaluation and information resources (PEIR).--This new
activity provides program evaluation and information technology resource
management services for the agency. Additionally, PEIR is responsible
for meeting the requirements of the Government Performance and Results
Act (GPRA) and developing MSHA's performance plan and Annual Performance
Report.
Program administration.--This activity performs general
administrative functions.

State administration.--The Disabled Veterans' Outreach Program
specialists provide outreach services and intensive employment services
to meet the employment needs of eligible veterans. Priority of service
is given to special disabled veterans, disabled veterans, and other
eligible veterans. In providing these services, the maximum emphasis is
on meeting the employment needs of economically or educationally
disadvantaged veterans. Local Veterans' Employment Representatives
conduct outreach to area employers to develop employment opportunities
for veterans. They also facilitate employment, training, and placement
services to veterans. In addition, each Local Veterans' Employment
Representative is administratively responsible to the manager of the
employment service delivery system to provide quarterly reports to the
manager of such office and to the Director of Veterans' Employment and
Training regarding compliance with Federal law and regulations with
respect to special services and priorities for eligible veterans and
eligible persons.
Administration.--Identifies policies and programs to serve and meet
employment and training needs of veterans. Monitors the States'
provision of priority of service to veterans. Evaluates job training and
employment assistance services to veterans and provides technical
assistance to States to ensure they meet negotiated performance goals.
Works with States to provide incentive awards for outstanding
performance. Coordinates a Transition Assistance Program with the
Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs. That program ensures the
provision of labor-market and employment-related information and other
services to military service members separating from active duty to
expedite and facilitate their transition from military to civilian
employment. Administers programs designed to help homeless veterans
become gainfully employed and to help veterans with service-connected
disabilities and others with significant employment barriers obtain
training and employment assistance. Promotes the concept of hiring
veterans to employers, particularly Federal contractors. Provides
information and investigates complaints to help veterans, reservists and
members of the National Guard obtain employment and reemployment rights,
including helping veterans obtain veterans' preference in Federal
employment.
National Veterans Employment and Training Services Institute.--
Administers the development of competency-based training courses and
delivers training to Federal and State providers of services to veterans
through a contract.
Homeless veterans reintegration program.--Provides grants to States
or other public entities and non-profits, including faith-based
organizations, to operate employment programs to reach out to homeless
veterans and help them become employed. Coordinates with the Department
of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development to promote multi-
agency-funded programs and integration of the different services needed
by homeless veterans. Grants are provided for both urban and rural
areas.
Veterans workforce investment program.--Provides grants mostly to
public entities for training, retraining and employment opportunities
for veterans most at risk, including those with the service-connected
disabilities, those with significant barriers to employment, and
recently separated veterans. Provides smaller grant to non-profit
organizations, including faith-based organizations, to conduct pilot or
demonstration employment programs for hard-to-serve veterans.
